About this listen
Is Shakespeare still relevant in today’s classrooms — or is it time to diversify the English curriculum?
Marvyn Harrison joins the Jeremy Vine show to debate whether William Shakespeare should remain a staple of the national curriculum. The conversation explores whether the Bard's legacy reflects a rich literary tradition — or reinforces outdated views and gatekeeps more inclusive voices from being taught.
📚 Topics discussed:
- Cultural literacy vs cultural stagnation
- Why representation matters in English literature
- The emotional disconnect many students feel with Shakespeare
- Modern alternatives and new authors for study
- Can we teach Shakespeare alongside other narratives?
